New Immunotherapy Drug
My husbands cancer is terminal its not responded to chemo its continued to grow with new tumors appearing. Today we have received a call to say from our Oncologist to say he is now eligible for the new Immunotherapy drug that was passed only last week by Nice and that the results were very encouraging

Feeling the difference...and the big dream.
Just completed the second run of Week 5. I didn't know whether I would get this far when I started out. My cardio-vasular fitness is probably better now than it's been in years (rare lung disease not withstanding!). What has definitely helped is that I've started swimming twice a week, about 20 lengths

New & Worrying
This is my first post. Just found out today my elderly dad definitely got lung cancer. It's a tumour in his lung. We have been to a respiratory clinic, they are now referring him to oncologist. He's had PET scan & bronchoscopy. Apparently has spread to lymph nodes in neck but nowhere else. He hasn't

Advice for strange symptoms
Hi, I am looking for advice. In Dec 2014 I felt so tired I went to my gp. I discovered that I had lost weight. In fact I had lost muscle and gained some fat. I did a bit of research and found that small cell lung cancer can have some strange symptoms. My fatigue continued and in Oct 2016 I managed to

Waiting now for a liver biospy and the results of the Brain MRI.
So I had the PET Scan last Wednesday of course as you know the results were not good. The lung cancer has traveled to the upper left lobe of my liver it is also in my left lung, possible two places in my bones. MY question is I understand that my cancer is not curable at this time, but can be managed

Possible lung cancer diagnosis- looking for advice
Hi. I am looking for advice - my mum had an abnormal chest X-ray around 3 weeks ago which showed a single "mass" in her upper right lung. She had a fast track ct scan with contrast 2 days later and waited 12 days to get the results. We went to the chest clinic on Monday and the consultant said he thinks

After two negative biopsies doctors still believe is lung cancer.
Hello, my name is Marily and my father is 65 years old he's a pretty healthy active guy, but about two weeks ago he started coughing blood.. he hadn't had any pain or anything prior. We took him to the ER and every since we got in they were sure it was lung cancer. They did a X - ray and found a tumor

Trying to remain optimistic for my Dad with Small Cell Lung Cancer.. any advice is welcome.
Hi there, My Dad was diagnosed with Stage 3 small cell lung cancer at the end of May, 2016. It was found in his right lung, and in a lymph node in his neck. He has finished his rounds of chemo. He had a brain MRI done about 2 weeks ago and it thankfully came back that it hasn't spread to his brain.

Anyone on Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) Immunotherapy
Hi, I have NSC Adenocarcinoma lung cancer, stage 4, diagnosed in Jan 2016. My first treatment was Tarceva, a targeted oral chemotherapy. That was working well until recently and now have switched to Pem/Keytruda, a targeted Immunotherapy . Wondering if others out there have experienced Pembrolizumab?
